Higher machine speeds have necessitated use of felt driven sections to eliminate the vibration and noise from a gear train. Felt driven sections can be for either new machines or as a rebuild for older gear driven sections that require improved reliability and reduced maintenance cost. GL&V can provide unique solutions for either new or existing machines. Key features of GL&V felt driven dryer sections include:

• Innovative open frame design improves machine accessibility and cross machine ventilation
• Custom drive locations to ensure proper distribution of required horsepower
• Roll design to ensure section compatibility at higher speeds
• Quiet drive to make use of existing gear train
